The Challenge: With the aide of technology, create a book guide to help struggling students improve their reading scores.
Guiding Questions: How can we help students who don't like to read? How can we make students interested in the book? What book would you like to focus on for this project? Who is the author, and when was the book written? What are the major characters, setting, and plot lines of the book? How will technology be incorporated into the book? What reading strategies could be used to increase literacy skills? How did the author's personal life help to create the novel? How does America feel about the novel chosen? What universal themes does the novel try and convey? How does the structure of the novel add or detract meaning? Reflect on your personal schema, how does it impact meaning in the piece?
